Clear and bright. Dry and crisp on the palate. Short finish. Not complex but very refreshing.

This was surprisingly good for the price. I'm not usually a fan of sparkling wines but this was well balanced with good acidity and was crisp and refreshing.

One-dimensional, bitter citrus pith (grapefruit, lemon, limes - I would have guessed extra brut if this were blind. But for $6…a sparkler that doesn’t taste like apple juice? That’s a good deal. 85.
